Facebook Feuds, Faith & Facepalms- The Thinking Atheist Podcast #15

Podcasts also available on iTunes.

Every day, skeptics with Facebook accounts encounter status updates like, "It's a beautiful, sunny day! God is so good!" Or, "My mother has cancer, prayers please!" Or "Jesus loves you more than anything!" Many of us who reject the notion of a god that brings pretty sunshine and rainbows, yet ignores millions of starving children, find these daily Facebook one-liners increasingly hard to stomach. We talk about the soapbox for belief that Facebook has become, and whether or not it's effective for the free-thinking community to engage.

"In the middle of OK that was pretty brave. Good thing her neighbors lost their TV sets. (I know, that probably sounds insensitive, but I am originally from KS, so I stand by the comment.) "
